Hi Ron --
I'm still waiting for you to explain the term "prescriptive meaning" which
you have used in critiquing my "phenomenalistic" philosophy and some
proposed constructions of Pirsig's levels. Specifically, how does
prescriptive meaning differ from "conceptual" or "descriptive" meaning?
By the way, I agree with your statement to Krimel that virtual reality games
are "for morons who assume that one has enhanced the illusion of reality by
clinging to some sense of self and personal identity in a format where
neither are the least bit meaningful."
Thanks and regards,
Ham

I believe phenomenalism characterizes the theory rather well.
As you most pragmatically suggested, focus on the "reality experience"
does disperse all intellectual quandaries and conflicts.
Nice observation Ham, Marsha's post certainly pertains to this.
This is certainly, understanding the larger scope of the issue.
My focus was on the inconsistency of theory. As we discussed
before, when providing prescriptive meaning, especially at this level
of abstraction, it is important to have consistency of meaning. When
concepts get reduced these inconsistencies become exaggerated.
Appreciate your comments. I assume you agree that "the reality
experience" has some dialectical advantages over a "taxonomy" of reality
as a discussion topic. Would you kindly explain "prescriptive meaning"
for me? You used this term in your previous critique of my logic, and I'm
not sure how it differs from "conceptual" or "descriptive" meaning.
Thanks, again, Ron.
Best regards,
Ham
